Stephenson "Cryptonomicon"
Vonnegut "Breakfast of Champions" (it's been a realllly long time though)
Chandler "The Long Goodbye" (re-reading it now)
Langguth "Patriots"
Mingus "Beneath the Underdog"

I'd take those to that "dessert island", maybe a few others...
I was just wondering...

One of my favorite books is The Talisman by Stephen King and some other dude. 

Straub?

Yes!  Thank you.  I was having a brain cramp and was too lazy to google.

No, I haven't.  Is it good?

And there's something funky going on with your signature.

I loved it but it was sort of slow moving and long.  But the payoff is great.  It was supposed to be a good ole fashion Ghost Story of vegeance and not being able to hide your past. 

yeah it was made into a mediocre 80s horror movie starring Fred Astaire and the old guy who played Ricky's grandfather in Silver Spoons.

My favorite book is either The Lost Princess by George McDonald, or Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis.  I really love a puritan prayer book that was reprinted back in the early 90s i think?  It is called The Valley of Vision.  It really gives me a perspective on what that group was thinking and feeling during the early stages of our nation's development.

Damn you.  You stole mine.  "Cryptonomicon" is MY fave, not yours.

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Join a book club.  You'll read crap you never thought you would.  And probably dislike it, but the food's usually good.

Jean Auel's Earth's Children series, but it's almost like pron books there's so much sex in it.

And I have to skip over it because I feel dirty reading such vivid material in my favorite series.

I know you all watch Pamela's new TV show religiously.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

QuoteThis thinly veiled novelization of her own life doesn't pretend to be anything but trashy and cheesy, which gives it an amiable charm.

An amiable charm which is apparantly hidden behind the can of pickled beets.

A book I have recently read is The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I really liked it and have heard they are planning turning it into a movie.
